	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2021 answer text <p>As part of the proposed reform of the planning system announced in the 2020 White Paper, Planning for the Future, the Government announced its intention to abolish the Duty to Co-operate. We are developing our proposals further following the consultation responses to the White Paper. It is too early to speculate about the detailed arrangements which will replace the Duty to Co-operate. However, the reformed planning system will ensure that all relevant authorities are involved in plan making, and this will include County Councils, where applicable. The new system will be more efficient, effective and flexible in the way that plans are prepared.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/03/2021 17:49:45 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

However, I can assure you that those parts of the country that currently have strategic plan making responsibilities will continue to do so, and that as part of the reform proposals we are considering how such powers can be made available to other parts of the country where they will be most useful in addressing long term development and infrastructure needs.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/03/2021 17:51:01 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2021 answer text <p>It is for local authorities to determine the most appropriate location for new housing, and they should do this having regard to the local circumstances that they know best. However, in determining the most appropriate locations, the National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that planning decisions and policies should avoid noise giving rise to significant adverse effects on health and quality of life.</p><p>In a situation where new homes are proposed near an airfield, and therefore could be affected by noise from air traffic, the Framework’s ’agent of change’ principle makes clear that the applicant ’or ‘agent of change' should be required to provide suitable mitigation to address adverse effects of noise. This principle is in place to avoid unreasonable restrictions being placed on existing facilities.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 20/04/2021 16:20:35 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
